Recurring Characters

(Number of Appearances = 5 episodes)
• Unknown Boy - One of Akis' classmates - another classmate of Akis. He was first seen in "Freedom In Museum". The weird thing about this character is that we never see or hear what his name actually is. He's slightly chubby and likes to play with toys and video games.

On June 7, 2019, Nickelodeon Asia's Facebook page officially uploaded the first Akis episode, "Cooking Class" and ended with their last episode, "Family Drama" on August 14, 2019.
